Chocolate Oatmeal Fig Cookies!

Thank you for stopping by little island studios, please subscribe by email to follow along in family fun!

It is almost autumn - my favorite time of the year!  And I am in full baking mode and wanted to share these delicious treats.   

Dried Figs, Oatmeal and Chocolate

72% Cocoa chopped!

Ingredients:

8 oz of Organic Greek Yogurt (I use Stonyfield)

4 oz of butter (unsalted & room temp)

1 cup of whole organic milk

1/2 cup of brown sugar

1/4 cup raw honey

12 oz of King Arthur All-Purpose Flour

2 teas of baking powder (no aluminum)

3 teas of Saigon Cinnamon

2 teas of Nutmeg

3 1/2 cups of oats (not quick cook)

3/4 cup of soft dried figs

4 oz of chopped chocolate (70%+)

Add an egg to the wet ingredients, if you can stay out of the batter ;)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Mix the wet ingredients.  Add the flour mixture.  Add the oats mixture.  Mix until blended only.  Scoop onto cookie sheet and bake 8-10 minutes.

Enjoy!

Ready for baking! 

My Notes:

As always I use organic ingredients as often as possible.

I am not a fan of highly sugary desserts - so add another 1/2 cup of brown sugar if you need to. ;)

I use unbleached, unbromated flour...so much better for you.

Replace Spelt Flour for the All-purpose flour for better digestion.

Happy Baking!
